Institute for Neuromorphic Engineering (INE)

这个研究协调网络，以“无墙”国际研究所的形式，致力于促进神经形态工程的研究和教育。神经形态工程是生物工程学中的一门年轻学科，它以人工神经系统的设计和制造为基础，其物理结构和设计原理是以生物神经系统为基础的。神经形态工程研究所(INE)的目标将是：1)促进年度讲习班指定的具体协作互动的继续和完成；2)全年组织规模较小、重点高度集中的会议，以便就指定的主题交换意见和进行讨论，并举行仲冬会议，讨论和评估INE的进展情况；3)组织和扩大超出讲习班范围的教育活动至其他参与机构。RCN成员还将帮助组织一年一度的Telluride讲习班，成员和学生将在三周多的时间里会面，进行密集的研究和教学。INE将只有最少的常设行政人员，不会有永久性的科学工作人员、建筑或设备管理费用。相反，INE将利用其国际成员实验室的工作人员和设施，这些实验室在合作研究方面有良好的记录。

This Research Coordination Network, in the form of an International Institute "without walls," is dedicated to the advancement of research and education in Neuromorphic engineering. Neuromorphic engineering is a young discipline in Bioengineering that is based on the design and fabrication on artificial neural systems, whose physical architecture and design principles are based on those of the biological nervous systems. The Aims of the Institute for Neuromorphic Engineering (INE) will be: 1) to foster the continuation and completion of specific collaborative interactions designated at the annual Workshop; 2) to organize smaller and highly focused meetings throughout the year to allow the exchange of ideas and discussion on designated topics, as well as to hold a mid-winter meeting to discuss and evaluate the progress of the INE; 3) to organize and expand the education activities beyond the confines of the Workshop to other participating institutions. The RCN members also will help organize the annual Telluride Workshop at which members and students will meet over three weeks for intensive research and teaching. The INE will have minimal permanent administrative staff and will have no permanent scientific staff, building, or equipment overheads. Instead, the INE will utilize the staff and facilities of its international member laboratories, which have a proven record of collaborative research.
